Підсумок	Interpretive Reflexive Thematic Analysis applies Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis framework explicitly within an interpretivist epistemological stance. The analyst treats meaning as co-constructed between researcher and data, foregrounds their own subjective positionality throughout the coding and theming process, and produces theoretically rich accounts of participant perspectives rather than surface-level content summaries. It is among the most widely used analytical approaches in contemporary qualitative research.	Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) is a widely used qualitative method for identifying, analysing, and interpreting patterns of shared meaning — called themes — across a dataset. Developed by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke, it is theoretically flexible, works across epistemological positions, and foregrounds the researcher's active, interpretive role rather than treating themes as features that simply emerge from data. It differs from older 'codebook' approaches by treating the analyst's subjectivity as a resource rather than a source of bias to be suppressed.
